Towards a sustainable energy: the potential of biomass for electricity generation in Oman

“

Adopting sustainability is encourage worldwide due to its impact on the environment and climate change. The UN Sustainable Development Goals (2015) set for achievement by 2030 is one of the of the main indication to understand that how sustainability is important. The significance of sustainability for Engineers can also be witness from worldwide Engineering Institutions. For Instance sustainability is one of the key attributes for professional registration as Chartered / Professional Engineer through Institution of Civil Engineers / Engineering Council in UK. As a Civil Engineer, it was a really wonderful experience for me to work on this research project. The most interesting part in the project was trying to decide which source of biomass I need to focus and finally I as able to go with the animal manure and waste from water treatment. From the literature review, I learn who to quantify the energy content in different form of waste, thus I has to go through more deeper in the specific topics selected from the literature review. A results and discussion of the article can be used by the decision makers to develop strategies and feasibility for adopting renewable and sustainable energy in Oman.
